At Rodriguez's house, police said they seized nine firearms, various items of stolen property, over 20 pounds of marijuana packaged for sale, and body armor. At the second house, police seized 21 more guns-- including a high-powered rifle -- as well as methamphetamine and marijuana packaged for sale.

"Some of the firearms recovered were identified as being stolen from Markley’s gun shop earlier this month, and a local residential burglary," police said.

Rodriguez was booked into the Santa Cruz County Jail.

The second bust happened on Halloween night.

Ruben Lopez, 37, of Watsonville, is accused of selling drugs out of his vehicle on Grant Avenue. Officers and a K-9 named Buddy searched Lopez's vehicle. They found methamphetamine and marijuana, as well as $30,000 in cash, police said.

A judge increased Lopez’ bail to $50,000 because he was already out on bail for a separate drug sales case.
